In Memory of Mercedes "Ce-Ce" Fondren

Good Night

“You were a cheerleader and you can dance?”
giggle
Your laugh was infectious
It matched your quirky voice and style.

“Are you gonna miss me when I'm gone?’
frowny face
That question everyone asks at some point
We didn’t know that we’d have to eventually answer it.

“Are you sad? You look sad?”
affirmative head nod
We liked that you could always tell
You always seemed to just know.

“Who's gonna have the last laugh?”
a cunning winking eye
We all did because we knew you.
The pleasure was certainly ours, lady.

“Wanna see what I've been working on?”
display a belly with child
Another one in the world like you would’ve been awesome.
But God already knew that mankind wouldn’t appreciate it.


Thank you Ce-Ce
You made us keep our promise
We are all getting together again.

Sleep well dear, sweet lady.
We'll see you soon.
